Strong storms move through Central Florida region

Strong storms are moving across the Central Florida region, posing a threat from flash floods and frequent lightning.

The storms could affect interior counties through late afternoon or early evening, the National Weather Service in Melbourne said.

The slow-moving storms could result in two or three inches of rain in a short period of time, which could lead to temporary flooding, forecasters said. The weather service warned that some storms could have gusty winds and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning.

Forecasters said showers and thunderstorms are likely before midnight Sunday. Skies are expected to be mostly cloudy, with a low around 77 degrees.
